Actualy the Rollei SL2000 SL3003, with Zeiss lenses like Contax, had
this feature, they looked like little Hasselblad cubes and the accessory
was comparable (Pola, etc). The price was accordingly, so another OM
body might have been cheaper than a second film magazin.
You could meter studio flashs through the lens with an special flash
meter, same device is avaible for the MF Rollei´s (spot and integral).
BTW there is an vacum pressure plate, to flaten the film, in the 70mm
long film back of the 6008, like the new MF Contax.
There is nothing realy new in camera technology, Denton.
